We had the good fortune of connecting with No One and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi No, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I got into photography growing up freedom of expression was big in my house.. there was always things you do for money and things that you love doing Photography has always been something I just loved doing, so let’s just see where that goes

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Write now I’m doing a project where I put 10,000 pictures through an old canon ae1 it’s taking me a couple of years to finish almost seven because life gets in the way. I love film there’s a permanence to it I’m one of the few people that know that still has photo albums.

It’s funny being recognized for the photos though everything about putting them out there has been about trying to check my ego. With no name no photos of myself just putting the work out there if you enjoy the work you enjoy it, I’m glad someone did. It’s hard not jump out there and say look it’s me.

Also one the thing I learned when you meet your heroes. Treat them as you would anyone else don’t give in discounts they won’t remember.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First I’m going to take them to studio city where I saved that guys life when my landlord stabbed him.

Second I’m taking him to carousel restaurant in Hollywood it’s got the best Lebanese food you can get in L.A or at least from what I’ve seen

Hit hard summer Inglewood then an underground rave downtown.

But you can’t be in La with out going to Roscos chicken and waffles if you do where you ever even hear

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My mother Zaheerah is definitely the strongest person that I’ve ever met and if you what her side of the family was like it’s a high compliment grandfather is a giant of a man the conditions no longer exist to make a man that cool anymore.

Also I first got into photography because my older brother was into heavy when I was a kid But when people took pictures of him in the places we went he always look like crap. So he taught me so he could look good in the pictures
